First though, to help with understanding the TemplateParser, a minimal size template document:
10 1 Elmer de Looff
11 1 Elmer de Looff
<pre><code class="html">
12 1 Elmer de Looff
Hello [title] [name]
13 1 Elmer de Looff
</code></pre>

The above document contains two simple template tags. These tags are delimited by square brackets, and they will be replaced by the named argument provided during parsing. If this name is not present, then the literal presentation of the tag will remain in the output.
